 Perchance to Dream?
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/15-02-20-Perchance.jpg> 


Perchance to Dream?

World renowned organist Lucinda Dinklaker was seated at the massive
Smackover Concert Organ ready to play Pringler's dazzling Etude Brute when
suddenly the instrument's keyboards, stops, and pedals all vanished! That
was bad enough, but then one of the pipes began to resonate, sounding like a
diapason reed in the throes of a painful clyster. Lucinda grabbed the pipe,
trying to stifle the sound, but there was no way to turn it off. Some of the
hundreds of spectators began to stamp their feet, hiss, and whistle rudely.
Oh, what was she to do?! Fortunately, at that very moment, she awoke from
her frightful nightmare. What a relief! But the reprieve was only temporary
as she soon discovered that she really was seated at the Smackover organ,
though at least that pipe wasn't buzzing and the audience had not begun to
hiss. What was it that her organ teacher, Professor Meptang, had said to do
at times like this when reality seemed to have taken a holiday? He insisted
that the answer was locked away in one's subconscious, whose only access was
through the dream world. So, she willed herself back to sleep. Perchance to
dream? Alas, not this time.

Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with Rodrgio Baggio 
Febraury 22, 2015
Sunday at 1:00pm 


Fifteen Minutes of Fame is 15 one-minute works by different composers. Vox
Novus is called for one-minute pieces composed for Fifteen-Minutes-of Fame
with Rodrigo Baggio, Improvisation as a Unique Compositional Challenge. 

Fifteen Minutes of Fame gives a variety of new music by living composers to
audiences hungry to hear what is being created in today's music scene. 

"...the 15 Minutes of Fame project of Vox Novus is a godsend. It organizes
competitions whereby ensembles commission worldwide calls for submissions of
approximately one-minute pieces, and then select their 15 favorites for
premieres. The players, themselves emerging and without the funds for a
traditional commission fee, get original works to present, while the
likewise emerging composers get a chance for exposure and a premiere..." -
Seth Gilman, NY Music Culture Examiner
<http://www.examiner.com/article/a-parhelion-sighting-queens-part-2> 

The presentation of fifteen works in a short amount of time allows for the
performance of composers works who would not normally get programmed on a
chamber concert. 

" The obvious strength of that approach is that it allows many composers to
gain exposure in a short time span. But there is also an esthetic benefit...
Since the pieces are performed in quick succession and each has a character
of its own, the audience is treated to a kaleidoscope of styles; in turn
textural and tonal, avant-garde and neo-romantic... like the entire
smorgasbord of contemporary idioms was playing a game of musical chairs, so
to speak, and the effect was thrilling. " - Damjan Rakonjac, Artificialist

Rodrigo Baggio has excelled internationally in 2012, playing concerts and
having his music played in various countries around the globe. He was the
guest guitarist of Universite Laval (Quebec) in their 2012 winter semester,
premiering four compositions ("Serra Verde" - for guitar, "Suite Americas"-
for guitar and trombone, "Lampada do Operario" - for tenor, guitar and
trombone and"Ciclo de Improvisacoes Sobre Memorias Regionais" - for guitar
and tenor saxophone) commissioned by the great trombone player Dr. James C.
Lebens for that special occasion. Alongside the concerts, Mr. Baggio has
composed music for different ensembles and projects such as "Fantasia
Brasileira I" (for guitar) specially written for Prof. Brian Katz
(University Of Toronto). His piece "Three Insights Of The Brazilian
Landscape" (for Percussion) was one of the winner pieces of "Carl von
Ossietzky Composition Prize" at Oldenburg University (Germany). A former
pupil of Jaime Barbosa (Composition/University of Ribeirao Preto), Dr.
Marcos Cavalcante (Improvisation/University of Campinas) and Arrigo Barnabe
(Composition/ULM), Baggio is currently developing his own project called
"Guitar Solo" in which Composition and Improvisation are combined on a
particular way of instrumental performance.

The second half of the program, "Circuit Bridges and Irritable Hedgehog

their excellence and historical importance 

EIO, or Ensemble of Irreproducible Outcomes, may seem to be a strange name
for a trio, but it nicely captures the group's mission. David D. McIntire
(clarinet, ocarina, electronics), Ryan Oldham (trumpet, flugelhorn) and
Brian Padavic (double bass) have vowed never to play a tune the same way
twice.
